FINALLY ALL WELDED UP LAST NIGHT. worked on it for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours to clean the surface rust off the rails and finish welding the leveling brackets on. pics above were only welded on the top side. now they are fully welded top and bottom and im as far as i can go unitl i get the legs made, and the movable crossmembers need some c-channel that im going to buy from a guy at work.

LEGS FINALLY MADE (TIG WELDED) and on will add jamb nuts to the bottom side of brackets later on TWO moveable crossmembers half way done right now will be getting 10 ga sheetmetal later as a top to give me room to work as a top plate but the sheetmetal will Break at a 90* (on both sdes downward) to give it more strength and to cover the lock bolts so they dont get garbaged up with weld spatter, dirt, or grease etc... AND YES THEY ARE TIG WELDED whatcha think? FRAME TABLE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE ITS COMPLETE, but the crossmembers are only 50% done right now (and in this pic both are on the front half but will have one on each section when theyre done)
